On a gentle rise. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a circular enclosure (D c. 35m). All that survives is a segment of the bank (Wth 4m, H 2.1m ext.) along W, indicating a diameter of c. 28m. There is a rectangular hollow (L 12m, Wth 3m), running N-S, in W sector, but most of the interior appears to have been quarried out.
